Earlier quoted context omitted.

religion is a facet, or component of ideology.

I would not describe the defining parts of buddhism as ideological so much as philosophical and sensuous. I’m not sure a good definition of religion exists. You’re being hugey reductive.

Escape from samsara is an entirely ideological concept and a basic pillar of the Buddhist religion.

Maybe religion is the original augmented reality. Interesting way to think about it, anyway.

zizek says that the book of job is the first critique of ideology, and he calls himself a christian atheist because he thinks becoming an atheist is only possible by going through christianity. so you have it exactly backwards. or maybe not, who the hell knows with hegelians.
